● Orange salmon
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for greasing
1 orange, sliced
4 salmon fillets, about 7 ounces each
1⁄3 cup blanched almonds, lightly
toasted and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch parsley, minced
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt and freshly ground pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
1⁄3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Preheat the oven to 400°. Soak the raisins in enough warm water to cover for 30 minutes. Drain and blot dry. Spread 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface. Brush them lightly with olive oil. Place the slices of orange in the center of each piece of aluminum foil. Arrange the salmon fillets on the orange slices. Sprinkle the almonds, raisins, garlic, parsley, orange zest and cumin over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper and the cinnamon and cloves. Drizzle with the olive oil and orange juice. Close the foil over the salmon without letting it touch and bake or grill over hot coals for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and partially unwrap before serving. ● Serves 4
